Hinting toward ‘intelligent and special players‘, Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas wants the Belgian to adapt to different midfielder spots and diversify his distribution.

KDB asked to orchestrate his playmaking skill from deeper!

Since the arrival of Pep Guardiola at Manchester City, many players have come and left the club. However, one player has constantly stayed and improved. The player is none other than Kevin De Bruyne. However, amid all the trophies, Arsenal legend Cesc Fabregas wants him to make certain changes to prolong his career. Fabregas said, “He is one of the players that can adapt in the future when he starts losing his physicality and speed.  He will be able to play in midfield. I have no doubt, as a double pivot next to Rodri and run things from there. This is what intelligent and special players do when they are not as sharp as they used to be.”

The Arsenal legend also praised the Belgian playmaker for recovering well from his long-term injury. He compared Kevin De Bruyne’s excitement to a child who has received a new kit from his parents! He also advised the Cityzens not to take risks with his fitness. He pointed out that Guardiola’s side adapted quite well in KDB’s absence.

Undoubtedly, the club will hope to close the two-point gap with league leaders Liverpool. As far as Kevin De Bruyne is concerned, even his teammates and managers have showered praise on the 32-year-old.

There is no stopping Kevin De Bruyne!

The charisma Kevin De Bruyne carries is different. When he resumed his warmup to feature as a substitute in the Huddersfield game, almost every fan started chanting his name.

After the win against the Magpies,  his manager Pep Guardiola didn’t hesitate to call him a legend. Kyle Walker in an interview called him an elite player. He put him in the same bracket as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
